# Dr Ashley Francis Clinical Psychologist
Dr Ashley Francis is a Clinical Psychologist providing specialist private autism and ADHD assessments across the East Midlands, serving Leicester, Derby, Nottingham and Sheffield. With advanced training in neurodevelopmental disorders, Dr Francis delivers comprehensive diagnostic evaluations for both children and adults seeking clarity on autism spectrum conditions and ADHD.
The practice distinguishes itself through NICE Guidelines compliance and a thoughtful initial consultation approach. Rather than committing immediately to full assessments, clients receive a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation to discuss their concerns and determine whether a formal assessment is appropriate. This patient-centred approach acknowledges that diagnosis decisions are significant and require careful consideration.
A key strength is the provision of detailed diagnostic reports suitable for supporting Educational Health Care Plan (EHCP) applications, removing barriers for families navigating the school system. This positions Dr Francis as a practical resource for parents seeking evidence-based documentation for educational support.
The business credentials underscore professional standing: HCPC registration and Bond Solon training demonstrate commitment to regulatory compliance and expert-level practice. By offering age-specific assessment pathways—child, teen, and adult—the practice acknowledges different diagnostic considerations across life stages, whilst maintaining specialised expertise in neurodiversity support for individuals and families.
